    Congratulations, I can't imagine the number of coding hours that had to go into this. Gotta feel good to see it actually come to life.
  • Humerusmeg
    Matt you are fucking crazy, and so amazing!!! :) Congrats on getting this project off the ground~
  • trooster89trooster89 Are you from London? Icrontian
    Congratulations Linc. You're the man.

    Congrats man, and thanks! I know you've been working hard on this, and now it'll finally pay off!

    Especially when he does it so ardichoke can sit down... to deploy max sed-fu

    Other than some minor stuff, what appears here looks good. VERY good. The minor stuff has already been mentioned for the most part, will leave well enough alone. :D

    Can we make the new Icrontic look EXACTLY like the old one, but run on this new Vanilla stuff?
  • JudahTCJudahTC Ballsdeep with Cola Member
    This is odd. But perhaps I'll get used to it like I did with Reddit.
  • KoreishKoreish I'm a penguin, deal with it. KCMO Icrontian
    Tim's status as guest made me lol.

    Yep! We'll get right on it.

    Oh sh--- Tim is posting from the future somehow. That's amusing considering he lives in the past.

    I think this draft autosaving feature exposes some SERIOUS privacy concerns. I don't know where these drafts are being saved, or how they are secured, and I find it very disconcerting that the, probably corrupt, administration can likely read my posts before I have decided to even send them.

    Please remove this functionality immediately.

    Can't tell if serious... or just stupid troll.
  • GHoosdumGHoosdum Icrontian
    This goes without saying, but I will say it anyway: switching from vBulletin to Vanilla makes Icrontic feel new. From the notification popups to the clean navigation, this is an amazing transformation.

    Thank you for your years of dedication and hard work, Lincoln.
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    @ardichoke That Tim is one of the Vanilla devs. He is wearing his finest trollface.

    @GHoosdum Cheers :)
  • ardichokeardichoke Icrontian
    Well, I guess that's better than someone actually being that dense.

    @Lincoln Did you implement the Networks feature in WordPress (the one that replaced WordPressMU) in order to share codebase, or did you do something custom for that? Also, does Vanilla have a similar feature that you implemented?

    You mean for the integration? I rolled my own. It basically bootstraps Vanilla into WordPress. I can code in my WordPress template as if I were writing a Vanilla plugin. We no longer use WordPress MU or its offshoot functionality.

    Are you going back to the 3 "tabs" on the articles "front page"?

    No. The content stream has been unified.

    That makes me a sad panda somewhat. Does that mean we'll have no way of determining what type of article is for what? I liked the ability to tell them apart outside the forums.

    Dustin, EVERYTHING we do makes you a sad panda :p

    Blown away, I am.

    It's possible. I just like customization/tailoring to my personal preferences. It's why I've stuck with reddit.

    Maybe with time I'll get over it.

    I can see what type of article it is from looking on the right side where it has the classification. Right by the time of last posting.

    On the home page? That's what I'm talking about.
